“Great overall breakfast and lunch spot. The menu offers a nice variety from biscuits & gravy, omelettes & scrambles, soup & sandwich, and even some Mexican inspired dishes. The food all has a homey, handmade feel. A lot of the menu feels creative, soups seem house made, jam comes in a cup instead of a plastic packet, lot of nice touches. The bar has nice lattes and chai to wake you up or even mimosas and palomas if you're feeling like one.The staff is consistently fantastic and always accommodating. I dropped in one day with a large group of friends and family, everyone was taken care of, everyone enjoyed their food, even the kids were happy.The indoor seating area is roomy with big tables with comfy chairs. There's a small outdoor seating area too, which is somewhat dog-friendly. Staff is kind, offering treats and water too.Parking: There's lots of parking space in the back with a rear entrance to the cafe. Parking in the front is street only which can be difficult.Kid-friendliness: There's a small kids menu with a good variety of options. French toast, oatmeal, fruit cups, to name a few.“
“The Railway Cafe is awesome. My son loves trains and the entire staff made sure that he had a great time with the entire eating experience. The food was delicious and the portions were generous for the price. We will definitely make another trip the next time we are in Blaine.Kid-friendliness: They were so kind to my child and let him "toot" the horn!“
“Flat iron steaks were very good, perfectly cooked. We agree with some of our friends, though, who think halibut fish and chips is a waste of very good fish. Halibut dries out a bit more than cod, so, while better tasting in other recipes, is no better than cod--but significantly more costly--when battered. This isn't a complaint about the quality of Blue Heron fish and chips; cod would simply be a better, certainly more traditional, choice for this preparation. The kitchen was very slow preparing our meals. We were with family we hadn't seen for a while, so this wasn't irritating. But it probably would have been under other circumstances.“
“I love the vibe this little town has, all year round. There's so much beauty for a smaller vicinity. There's lots to do in Birch Bay, especially during spring and summer. The state park has a beautiful campground, there's the water park, beaches, a candy shop, go carts, and lots more! It's my favorite part of Whatcom County!“
“Best food and service I have had in years. Had a five course dinner with my daughter. A different wine was paired with each meal. She and I loved it so much that we had to try the Sunday brunch. Once more...amazingly good time and good food.. Don't lose that chef! We already reserved next Sunday! The owner is hands on, making sure guests are happy and things run smoothly. I also like the actual vault door in the back of the dining area. Try the brunch.. Yelp isn't updated on the Sunday brunch hours.. should bring more business once updated.. it says closed on Sunday. Make reservations!“
“My boyfriend loves sushi and eats it weekly. He said the nigiri sushi here was one of the best he's ever tasted, he wished he got more and will be back tomorrow. He does not eat the ginger, wasabi or soy sauce and it only comes with those if you order so that was nice to not have waste for something he doesn't want. ( I do not eat sushi so am writing the review based on his response). He can't stop talking about how great the nigiri was!My only complaint is the PLASTIC, it is take out only so comes in plastic and a plastic bag. Should switch to compostable products to help our environment and only give bags of people pay or request. He ate the food immediately in our car so no need to have anything plastic that will be here in earth longer than us.So cheers to the chef for his amazing skills!! Truly a gem!Parking: About 15-20“
